试想下如果前面配置的HAProxy主机192.168.0.9突然宕机或者网卡失效，那么虽然RabbitMQ集群没有任何故障，但是对于外界的客户端来说所有的连接都会被断开，结果将是灾难性的。确保负载均衡服务的可靠性同样显得十分的重要。这里就引入Keepalived工具，它能够通过自身健康检查、资源接管功能做高可用（双机热备），实现故障转移。
Keepalived采用VRRP（Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol，虚拟路由冗余协议），以软件的形式实现服务器热备功能。通常情况下是将两台Linux服务器组成一个热备组（Master和Backup），同一时间热备组内只有一台主服务器Master提供服务，同时Master会虚拟出一个公用的虚拟IP地址，简称VIP。这个VIP只存在在Master上并对外提供服务。如果Keepalived检测到Master宕机或者服务故障，备份服务器Backup会自动接管VIP称为Master，Keepalived并将原Master从热备组中移除。当原Master恢复后，会自动加入到热备组，默认再抢占称为Master，起到故障转移的功能。
Keepalived工作在OSI模型中的第3层、第4层和第7层。
工作在第3层是指Keepalived会定期向热备组中的服务器发送一个ICMP数据包来判断某台服务器是否故障，如果故障则将这台服务器从热备组移除。
工作在第4层是指Keepalived以TCP端口的状态判断服务器是否故障，比如检测RabbitMQ的5672端口，如果故障则将这台服务器从热备组中移除。
工作在第7层是指Keepalived根据用户设定的策略（通常是一个自定义的检测脚本）判断服务器上的程序是否正常运行，如果故障将这台服务器从热备组移除。
Keepalived的安装
首先需要去Keepalived的官网下载Keepalived的安装文件，目前最新的版本为：keepalived-1.3.5.tar.gz，下载地址为http://www.keepalived.org/download.html。
将keepalived-1.3.5.tar.gz解压并安装，详细步骤如下：
[root@node1 ~]# tar zxvf keepalived-1.3.5.tar.gz
[root@node1 ~]# cd keepalived-1.3.5
[root@node1 keepalived-1.3.5]# ./configure --prefix=/opt/keepalived --with-init=SYSV
#注：(upstart|systemd|SYSV|SUSE|openrc) #根据你的系统选择对应的启动方式
[root@node1 keepalived-1.3.5]# make
[root@node1 keepalived-1.3.5]# make install之后将安装过后的Keepalived加入系统服务中，详细步骤如下（注意千万不要输错命令）：
#复制启动脚本到/etc/init.d/下
[root@node1 ~]# cp /opt/keepalived/etc/rc.d/init.d/keepalived /etc/init.d/
[root@node1 ~]# cp /opt/keepalived/etc/sysconfig/keepalived /etc/sysconfig
[root@node1 ~]# cp /opt/keepalived/sbin/keepalived /usr/sbin/
[root@node1 ~]# chmod +x /etc/init.d/keepalived
[root@node1 ~]# chkconfig --add keepalived
[root@node1 ~]# chkconfig keepalived on
#Keepalived默认会读取/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf配置文件
[root@node1 ~]# mkdir /etc/keepalived
[root@node1 ~]# cp /opt/keepalived/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf /etc/keepalived/ 执行完之后就可以使用如下：
service keepalived restart
service keepalived start
service keepalived stop
service keepalived status这4个命令来重启、启动、关闭和查看keepalived状态。
配置
在安装的时候我们已经创建了/etc/keepalived目录，并将keepalived.conf配置文件拷贝到此目录下，如此Keepalived便可以读取这个默认的配置文件了。如果要将Keepalived与前面的HAProxy服务结合起来需要更改/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf这个配置文件，在此之前先来看看本次配置需要完成的详情及目标。
如图所示，两台Keepalived服务器之间通过VRRP进行交互，对外部虚拟出一个VIP为192.168.0.10。Keepalived与HAProxy部署在同一台机器上，两个Keepalived服务实例匹配两个HAProxy服务实例，这样通过Keeaplived实现HAProxy的双机热备。所以在上一小节的192.168.0.9的基础之上，还要再部署一台HAProxy服务，IP地址为192.168.0.8。整条调用链路为：客户端通过VIP建立通信链路；通信链路通过Keeaplived的Master节点路由到对应的HAProxy之上；HAProxy通过负载均衡算法将负载分发到集群中的各个节点之上。正常情况下客户端的连接通过图中左侧部分进行负载分发。当Keepalived的Master节点挂掉或者HAProxy挂掉无法恢复，那么Backup提升为Master，客户端的连接通过图中右侧部分进行负载分发。如果你追求要更高的可靠性，可以加入多个Backup角色的Keepalived节点来实现一主多从的多机热备。当然这样会提升硬件资源的成本，该如何抉择需要更细致的考恒，一般情况下双机热备的配备已足够满足应用需求。
接下来我们要修改/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf文件，在Keepalived的Master上配置详情如下：
#Keepalived配置文件
global_defs {
router_id NodeA #路由ID, 主备的ID不能相同
}
#自定义监控脚本
vrrp_script chk_haproxy {
script "/etc/keepalived/check_haproxy.sh"
interval 5
weight 2
}
vrrp_instance VI_1 {
state MASTER #Keepalived的角色。Master表示主服务器，从服务器设置为BACKUP
interface eth0 #指定监测网卡
virtual_router_id 1
priority 100 #优先级，BACKUP机器上的优先级要小于这个值
advert_int 1 #设置主备之间的检查时间，单位为s
authentication { #定义验证类型和密码
auth_type PASS
auth_pass root123
}
track_script {
chk_haproxy
}
virtual_ipaddress { #VIP地址，可以设置多个：
192.168.0.10
}
}Backup中的配置大致和Master中的相同，不过需要修改global_defs{}的router_id，比如置为NodeB；其次要修改vrrp_instance VI_1{}中的state为BACKUP；最后要将priority设置为小于100的值。注意Master和Backup中的virtual_router_id要保持一致。下面简要的展示下Backup的配置：
global_defs {
router_id NodeB
}
vrrp_script chk_haproxy {
...
}
vrrp_instance VI_1 {
state BACKUP
...
priority 50
...
}为了防止HAProxy服务挂了，但是Keepalived却还在正常工作而没有切换到Backup上，所以这里需要编写一个脚本来检测HAProxy服务的状态。当HAProxy服务挂掉之后该脚本会自动重启HAProxy的服务，如果不成功则关闭Keepalived服务，如此便可以切换到Backup继续工作。这个脚本就对应了上面配置中vrrp_script chk_haproxy{}的script对应的值，/etc/keepalived/check_haproxy.sh的内容如代码清单所示。
#!/bin/bash
if [ $(ps -C haproxy --no-header | wc -l) -eq 0 ];then
haproxy -f /opt/haproxy-1.7.8/haproxy.cfg
fi
sleep 2
if [ $(ps -C haproxy --no-header | wc -l) -eq 0 ];then
service keepalived stop
fi如此配置好之后，使用service keepalived start命令启动192.168.0.8和192.168.0.9中的Keepalived服务即可。之后客户端的应用可以通过192.168.0.10这个IP地址来接通RabbitMQ服务。
